* Released By: Crunchyroll
* Running time: 24
* Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1 Widescreen
* Disc Resolution: 480i/p
* Disc Encoding: MPEG-2
* Series: Natsu no Arashi
In Summary:
Natsu no Arashi is very mild when it comes to Arashi as its focus is on that of Hajime and Yayoi in the past. With so little time to really develop either Yayoi or Kanako, it’s not a surprise that they’ve dedicated an entire episode to fleshing out things when it comes to the pair and their relationship. It also posits some fun little moments about the cause and effect of time travel, but often this seems little more than some cute afterthoughts that are meant to get the time travel fanboys all a twitter as they talk about the logistics of it. This is an enjoyable enough episode considering what it is and its placement in the series, but it hasn’t made the next episode a must watch piece either. And that’s been the crux of the problem for the series for me since the start.
